Re: analyst/lemming

"Lemming by Graham, Bank Street School for Children

Lemmings don't live very long. There's an 80% chance that they could get killed on any day. The lemming's predators are hawks, owls, weasels, foxes and basically all Arctic animals. Winter is the safest time for the lemming. Predators cannot see them because the snow covers up their tunnels.

The overpopulation of lemmings overwhelms the lemmings which causes them to fall off cliffs and drown. They get irritated with one another and it drives them crazy which causes them to leave. In the years when there are many lemmings, sometimes they run out of food, so they are forced to leave their homes. They are stubborn little creatures and nothing stands in their way. When anything comes in their path they find a way to pass the obstacle. If there was a river in their way, they would dive in and swim across. But sometimes, if the river is too wide, the lemmings drown because they didn't pay attention to whether or not they could swim across the width of the river.

People think that lemmings commit suicide by jumping off cliffs or drowning. Maybe it seems like suicide attempts, but the lemmings are really just making mistakes and they sometimes die from them..."

Really poor choice to link those disgusting creatures... with such cute little denizens of the Arctic! - Tad LaFountain

P.S. I expect you'll be hearing from the Lemming Anti-Defamation League momentarily.
